    I don't like the looks of the vacuum boosters but most cars have them and they're pretty "normal" to see, imo. In fact I think it looks weird with just a master cylinder on the firewall since you almost always see a booster of some sort. The Hydroboost units aren't so ugly now that I've gotten used to them. I think I was one of the first guys to adapt them to a tri5 several years ago. My brake booster isn't even visible.
    I have a box with the orginal 4 piston 67 Camaro calipers and brackets in it somewhere, they were a pain in the ass, leaking every two years. I converted to 69 single piston 20 years ago and have not screwed with it since. Good to know what they bring on Ebay, someday I am going to have to figure that out.

    I am interested in the Hydroboost idea for my old age. Are there pictures somewhere.

    I run the chevelle setup with brackets from CCI--been on for 15-18 years--they do move the wheels out and are noticeable to most. Am thinking of using the ECI setup as I would like to lower the car a bit in the front.
